Skyrim Modding

[CyAn1d3]

YES i know about The Nexus Forums, so dont point me there.

but does anybody here partake in the modding scene there as well?

[FarShot]

Hehe, I've been on Skyrim Nexus all day bro.  Last couple days, I've been pimping out my Skyrim for immersion gaming.

[1DeadlySAMURAI]

Yup! I got a shitload of mods installed.

[CyAn1d3]

sweet, what do you gentleman know about actually making the mods?

[FarShot]

Hehe, nothing at all.  Shoot I just model ships for BC.  I've never used NifSkope or the BC SDK in my life.   Like I'd know anything about Skyrim modding.

[1DeadlySAMURAI]

Yeah, I've tried and failed so many times it's not even funny any more.

[CyAn1d3]

Lol. No sarcasm intended eh farshot? ;) well i got some weapon ideas in mind, and i wanna take a crack at doing some armor sets.... I will admit, character modeling was never my strong suit, so thisll be some good practice. Ill pm you after work dude.

[captain_obvious]

I know of these guys.

[CyAn1d3]

Dont fret guys, im not gonna jump ship and start doing things exclusivly for skyrim. I just have a few personal things i wanna do for myself. If anyone wants a copy of the finished mods (IF they get done) ill be happy to let some folks HERE havem. But it wont be public releases. Just our own lil corner for the BCC fam.

Sweet, sign me up for that copy of your mod. I've been meaning to pitch in to the nexus mod manager but I never found the time in my busy life.

[FarShot]

When I said I was pimping out my Skyrim, I meant I've downloaded more than a hundred mods.  No sarcasm at all.  I know nothing about Skyrim modding.

[CyAn1d3]

Most definately sov. I guess when i get home ill turn this into a WIP thread for the mods to be shown off. Provided the moderators dont have an issue. I have a model STARTED for the sword i want, tho its not presentable yet. Depending on the weather tonight i my go out, or stay @ home nd work on it some.

Wich means ill prolly have to go over to Nexus and "draft" me a script genie. I dont have the dev kit. And i dont think i can get it, the copy of my skyrim was given to me. Just the disc. Nothing else.

It was released on disc? I had no idea.
btw, as far as I know you should be able to download the CK.  Not that you'd want to, what with all the bugs in it.

I did some Morrowind back in the day (best Elder Scrolls IMO, Spears FTW) and modded the hell out of Oblivion (H2H FTW) but Skyrim was kind of a letdown for me so nothing to share.

Wut.  Skyrim is amazing.  I find it hard to choose between it and Morrowind.  Oblivion has nothing in comparison.  It also gets bonus points for being one of the few games of its kind released recently that doesn't suffer cutscene-itis.

yea, back when it FIRST came out Skyrim was on disc.

i cant find a link ANYWHERE but Steam for the Dev Kit... as for bugs, ill either deal or get pissed and walk, it CANT be worse than MPE is at time..... knock on wood.

i can kinda see how.. there were some things story and gameplay-wise that irked me.

but none the less there are weapons, armor and other things i have in mind that i want in game. some are from other games, some are from my head.

About those bugs, they are being fixed *very* slowly but when they fix one thing they do it in such a ham fisted fashion that it breaks 3 more things.

I found the main quest incoherent and unrelated to much anything else; the faction quests were hugely disappointing compared to Morrowind and Oblivion (except for College; that one was amazing) and a lot of the game's characters felt irrelevant to me; I was not a fan of the new skill/perk & combat systems, as I felt they made for some ridiculous combos; the game's cities and towns paled in comparison to Oblivion and Morrowind (especially Morrowind); and, above all, the game felt as if it had no soul. The point-and-follow questing system takes away a ton of the sense of grand exploration.

Don't get me wrong, I liked the game a lot, but compared to Morrowind and Oblivion...not really a 400hr+ game.
